My Dad Would Have Smiled


I recently reminded my husband who loves dogs, that he should ask owner's permission before

reaching to pet a strange dog. Dogs are now treated like children, not dogs by many. The following article is from the morning paper.


Pioneer Press

"Enroll Now in Pet CPR Classes
You could probably administer first aid to a friend or family member, but what if your pet had an emergency? Learn how to care for a sick or injured animal at the Pet First Aid and CPR class from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, hosted by the Diamondhead Education Center in Burnsville.
The program is designed for pet owners and older children, and will teach CPR, rescue breathing, the Heimlich maneuver and pet care for poisoning, bleeding, shock and injury. The class is not meant to replace veterinary care but to help save your pet's life in an emergency. Anyone who works in an occupation that involves animals is also encouraged to attend. "
